The Battle Horse Big Jay is a big timber blade from Battle Horse Knives: 5.875 inches of O1 tool steel drop point on 0.187 inch stock, saber ground, 11 inches overall. When the job is splitting rounds, clearing a campsite, or breaking down big game, this is the Battle Horse you reach for.
The saber grind starts its bevel partway up the blade and leaves extra steel behind the edge, exactly what you want for batoning stubborn rounds and hard chores that would worry a thinner scandi, and O1 tool steel strops back sharp at camp; our knife steel comparison guide covers why the carbon classic still rules hard use. Compared with the Battle Horse Altitude, the Big Jay trades the spear point and scandi edge for a drop point with more muscle, making it the harder working of the brand's two big fixed blade camp knives. Micarta scales in matte green or black keep the grip sure in any weather, and every Big Jay comes with your choice of Kydex or leather sheath, handmade in Cambridge, Ohio.
